20+ Real Deepfake Examples That Shocked the World [Updated 2026]
(June 8, 2026)
A deepfake is AI-generated or AI-manipulated media that convincingly replaces one person’s face, voice, or both, or fabricates someone’s likeness entirely. Unlike older editing techniques, deepfakes are generated by generative adversarial networks (GANs) or diffusion models, making them increasingly difficult to detect with the naked eye.

Aug 22, 2026 Die Dunkelkammer – Der Investigativ-Podcast
Von Michael Nikbakhsh. In dieser Ausgabe der Dunkelkammer stellt der Journalist und „SN“-Redakteur Peter Gnaiger (der zudem mein Cousin ist) sein neues Buch „Unter Brüdern – Die Freimaurer Leaks“ vor, das im Herbst in unserem Verlag Edition Lauter erscheint. Peter war 15 Jahre lang Mitglied einer Salzburger Loge, er ehe Gegenstand eines kafkaeskes „Freimaurer-Gerichtsverfahrens“ wurde und den Männerbund schließlich verließ. // Die Dunkelkammer ist ein Stück Pressefreiheit.
Freimaurer-Leaks: Rituale, Seilschaften und ein Wiener Bürgermeister, der nichts weiß
(September 4, 2026)
Zwei aktuelle Videos beleuchten eines der brisantesten Themen, über das besonders ungern berichtet wird: die österreichische Freimaurerei und ihre politischen Hintergründe.
Es sind zwei aktuelle Videos aus unterschiedlichen Ecken. Im Podcast „Die Dunkelkammer“ (#362) spricht Mainstream-Journalist Michael Nikbakhsh mit seinem Cousin, dem Journalisten und Freimaurer-Aussteiger Peter Gnaiger. Zugleich verarbeitet die Satiresendung „Alles Gute Österreich“ eines alternativmedialen Kanals das Thema.
Ortungstechnik: Lauschen auf den Knall vom Wedding
(April 5, 2016)
So beschreibt die „New York Times“ einen Einsatz des ShotSpotter-Systems des Herstellers SST, das mittlerweile in mehr als 70 Städten der USA im Einsatz ist, darunter Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, Oakland, Milwaukee und Minneapolis. Seine Aufgabe: Allein aus Geräuschen die Position einer Schießerei ermitteln – und das mit hoher Effizienz, wie der Hersteller wirbt.
NYC Installing Eavesdropping Microphones Across City
(March 18, 2015)
It’s called ShotSpotter, a large tracking system which detects gunfire and then triangulates the position of the sound. Acoustic sensors are placed in strategic areas, mostly along rooftops or atop telephone poles. Once installed, the sensors pick up street noise and listen for gunshots.

It also raises questions about security, since the IP audio-video systems can be accessed remotely via a built-in web server (.pdf), and can be combined with GPS data to track the movement of buses and passengers throughout the city.
According to the product pamphlet for the RoadRecorder 7000 system made by SafetyVision (.pdf), „Remote connectivity to the RoadRecorder 7000 NVR can be established via the Gigabit Ethernet port or the built-in 3G modem. A robust software ecosystem including LiveTrax vehicle tracking and video streaming service combined with SafetyNet central management system allows authorized users to check health status, create custom alerts, track vehicles, automate event downloads and much more.“

Wie im Gangster-Film: Firma will Überwachungskameras für Geheimdienste manipulieren
(December 29, 2022)
Auch mit Deutschland soll es zumindest Gespräche gegeben haben, geht aus den Haaretz vorliegenden Dokumenten hervor. Neben den USA und Australien soll es zudem Kontakt mit Singapur gegeben haben, einem nicht-demokratischen Staat. Ob die Länder tatsächlich Produkte von Toka einsetzen, ist nicht bekannt.
Der Markt für vernetzte Geräte wie Videokameras, Kühlschränke und Autos wächst seit Jahren kontinuierlich an.
Human Rights Expert Sounds Alarm Over Israeli Firm‘s ‚Dystopian‘ Video-Altering Tech
(December 27, 2022)
Haaretz continued:
Twenty years on, this is no longer the stuff of movies: Toka‘s tech allows clients to do just that and more—not just diverting a live feed but also altering old feeds and erasing any evidence of a covert op.
Technical documents reviewed by an ethical hacker prove that Toka‘s tech can alter both live and recorded video feeds—all without leaving any forensics or telltale signs of a hack (in contrast to NSO‘s Pegasus spyware, or Intellexa‘s Predator, which leave a digital fingerprint on targeted devices).

Iran‘s chilling warning before Strait of Hormuz attacks
ran has reportedly targeted at least three ships in the Strait of Hormuz, jeopardising peace negotiations with the US.
Audio obtained by Fox News captures the Iranian Navy issuing a warning to vessels before the reported attacks.
“This is the last warning; this is last warning; this is last warning. You are all in danger. Don’t put your life in danger. You are ordered to alter course,” he said.
“Do so immediately, alter course, do so immediately, and use the south of Larak Island.
“If you disobey, you will be targeted. Navy out,” the Iranians said before reportedly attacking.
Iran strikes three ships in Strait of Hormuz
Jul 7, 2026
Tensions are rising in the Middle East after Iran reportedly struck three tankers in the Strait of Hormuz within 24 hours.
The US has revoked Iran‘s authorisation to produce and export oil following the attacks.
The attacks threaten to derail negotiations aimed at ending the US-Iran conflict.
They also risk collapsing a recent agreement under which Iran pledged to halt attacks in the strategic waterway.
Subsurface structural changes associated with successive 11-yr solar activity cycles have been progressively more confined near the surface: new helioseismic results on Cycles 22–25 from BiSON
(May 28, 2026)
We use Sun-as-a-star helioseismology data, collected by the Birmingham Solar-Oscillations Network, to examine the relationship between the solar-cycle-induced frequency shifts of whole-Sun, low-angular degree solar p modes and well-known proxies of global solar activity. Changes in behaviour between the low-frequency modes and proxies, which in a previous study we found had occurred on the declining phase of Cycle 23, appear to have persisted into Cycle 25. More striking is a significant change in the relationship for higher-frequency modes, which the new Cycle 25 data now reveal. The observed mean frequency shifts in Cycle 25 are much stronger than one would expect for these modes based on the relationship between the frequencies and proxies seen in previous cycles, in particular Cycle 22. In sum, Cycle 25 is as strong as Cycles 22 and 23 when observed in this higher-frequency seismic band, in marked contrast to the relative sizes of the cycles seen in the global activity proxies, where Cycle 25 is noticeably weaker. (…)
The last few solar cycles have seen significant changes in overall levels of activity and differences in the evolution of magnetic fields at different solar latitudes (e.g. see D. H. Hathaway 2015; A. Norton et al. 2023). Cycle 24 was significantly weaker in well-known proxies of global solar activity than previous cycles, and marked a departure from the preceding so-called modern maximum epoch (I. G. Usoskin 2017). While the current Cycle 25 has peaked at higher activity, it did not return to pre-Cycle-24 levels.
Listening to the Sun reveals previously hidden changes to solar cycle
(May 28, 2026)
Professor Sarbani Basu, from Yale University, said, “We discovered that the relationship between internal solar oscillations and surface activity has evolved over the past few cycles. This trend cannot be explained simply by weaker magnetic fields. Instead, it indicates a structural reorganisation of how the Sun’s magnetic activity is stored beneath the surface.”
Ongoing collection and analysis of BiSON solar data over what remains of Cycle 25 and into the upcoming Cycle 26 will be crucial in determining whether the changes discovered in the Sun’s activity point to a sustained, systematic change in solar magnetic behaviour.
The Sun is Changing and We Don’t Know Why
(May 29, 2026)
Here‘s where it gets strange. Traditional measurements of solar activity such as sunspot counts and magnetic field strengths at the surface suggest that cycle 25 is relatively modest. But the helioseismic data tells a different story. Look at the high-frequency oscillations, which probe the shallowest layers, and cycle 25 appears just as powerful as its predecessors. The Sun looks different depending on where you look. The surface is playing it down but the interior is not.
What does this mean? The honest answer is that nobody is entirely sure yet.

PowerHammer: Exfiltrating Data From Air-Gapped Computers Through Power Lines
(April 2018)
In this paper we provide an implementation, evaluation, and analysis of PowerHammer, a malware (bridgeware [1]) that uses power lines to exfiltrate data from air-gapped computers. In this case, a malicious code running on a compromised computer can control the power consumption of the system by intentionally regulating the CPU utilization. Data is modulated, encoded, and transmitted on top of the current flow fluctuations, and then it is conducted and propagated through the power lines. This phenomena is known as a ‚conducted emission‘. We present two versions of the attack. Line level powerhammering: In this attack, the attacker taps the in-home power lines1 that are directly attached to the electrical outlet. Phase level power-hammering: In this attack, the attacker taps the power lines at the phase level, in the main electrical service panel. In both versions of the attack, the attacker measures the emission conducted and then decodes the exfiltrated data. We describe the adversarial attack model and present modulations and encoding schemes along with a transmission protocol. We evaluate the covert channel in different scenarios and discuss signal-to-noise (SNR), signal processing, and forms of interference. We also present a set of defensive countermeasures. Our results show that binary data can be covertly exfiltrated from air-gapped computers through the power lines at bit rates of 1000 bit/sec for the line level power-hammering attack and 10 bit/sec for the phase level power-hammering attack.
Hackers found a way to steal data from air gapped networks using powerlines
(8th May 2018)
Hot on the heels of exploits that use fan noise, infra red cameras, heat, LED lights and drones, magnetic fields and smartphones, and a multitude of other hacks to gain access to sensitive air gapped computer systems, the researchers from Israel’s Ben Gurion University have shown once again that air-gapped networks are not safe from a determined and patient attacker.
The researchers have already devised several devious techniques to extract data from isolated or air-gapped computers that store highly sensitive data and now their latest technique, dubbed PowerHammer, exploits current fluctuations flowing through the power lines supplying electricity to air-gapped computers.
The researchers have been able to exfiltrate data at a rate of 1,000 bits per second for lines connected to the target computer and 10 bits per second from the grid.

Analyse: Geheimdienstlicher Komplex will das stadtweite „Überwachungs“-System in Berlin wieder aktivieren lassen
(Dezember 30, 2016)
Was würde passieren, wenn bekannt würde, dass Berlin, die einflussreichste und mächtigste Stadt auf dem Kontinent Europa und die Hauptstadt der Berliner Republik, durch ein stadtweites Spionagesystem „überwacht“ wird, durch das jede Person beobachtet werden kann „von dem Moment an dem sie die Türschwelle verlässt, bis zu dem Moment an dem sie zurückkehrt“ und dass Arbeit und soziales Verhaltensmuster der Stadtbewohner und -besucher „aufzeichnet, analysiert und archiviert“? Und nicht nur Geheimdienste aus N.A.T.O.-Staaten darauf in Echtzeit zugreifen können?
Nichts. Nichts würde passieren. Die strategische Mehrheit der Bevölkerung würde sich ducken, bücken, beugen, wie sie es in der deutschen Geschichte immer getan hat

– Bitsight TRACE has found more than 40,000 security cameras openly accessible on the internet, allowing anyone to view their live footage.
– The United States and Japan rank first and second for camera exposure.
– Most times, all that an attacker needs to spy on homes or even large organizations is just a web browser and the right IP address.
– We detected conversations on the dark web where bad actors were discussing exposed cameras.
Human Rights Expert Sounds Alarm Over Israeli Firm’s ‘Dystopian’ Video-Altering Tech
(December 27, 2022)
The company, whose activities are overseen by the Israeli Defense Ministry, “was set up in 2018 and has offices in Tel Aviv and Washington,” Haaretz reported. “It works solely with state clients in government, intelligence bodies, and law enforcement agencies, almost exclusively—but not just—in the West. According to the internal documents, as of 2021, the company had contracts with Israel valued at $6 million, and had also planned an ‘expansion of existing deployment’ in Israel.”
Toka can tap into web-connected cameras found virtually everywhere—intersections, parking lots, malls, hotels, airports, and even homes. Haaretz compared the firm’s “cyberoffense” capabilities to the 2001 heist movie Ocean’s Eleven.
